This is an extremely important question because whoever does control the Mainstream Media (MSM) does control the world.

However, the stark reality is that it is impossible to know just who it is that controls the MSM. Why?

It has become obvious that the usual suspects which are trotted out on the stage of alternative journalism are far from the actual locus of power and control, and that those corporate media behemoths are but flimsy fronts and superficial shell games. Working back through the numerous levels of stock ownership and bondholder positions, holding companies and offshore subsidiaries, interlocking directorships and corporate law firms, etc. to a layer of genuine control requires an extraordinary exercise in investigative research. Even the countless and purposeful paper trails and audit trails will lead to a perceived ownership which is in name only. Nothing really new or eye-opening here.

Simply put, knowledge of the actual ‘owners’ has been made impossible to ascertain in this particular age … for very good reason. Why?

Because “Whoever Controls The Media Controls The World”.

The following corporate entities are invariably paraded across the mind’s eye – by those who would have us believe in the Mainstream Media illusion – as the first attempt to understand how the MSM is ‘structured’, or rather constructed for public consumption.
